“Starting today (Thursday), people will begin to see political ads with ‘published by’ or ‘paid for by’ disclaimers specified by advertisers. The social media giant said the enforcement of the new features and the political ads policy begins on February 21. From then on, only advertisers who have completed the authorisations and made stipulated disclosures will be allowed to run political ads in India. Once a person clicks on the disclaimer, they will be taken to the searchable ad library. In March, India will also have its own “ad library report”, which will help users view insights about the ads in the library more easily, Facebook said.
